Overview

It must be tough being a local artist. Breaking through to audiences is tough without some spark to ignite the fuel of fanaticism for art. Sometimes you just need a helping hand. Well then, thank the powers that be for the Institute of Modern Art.

Their annual exhibition, Fresh Cut, is dedicated to shining a light on emerging artists from Brisbane and Queensland at large. Since 1997 (16 years, for those counting at home) IMA and Fresh Cut have shown works by dozens of artists who have never had the opportunity to be displayed on their hallowed walls.

Thanks for BCC’s Creative Sparks grant, each member of the Fresh Cut exhibition receives $5000 to help them create their work – a nice sum of money! This allows each artist to go all out and realise their potential for the betterment of their careers.

The lucky artists-du-jour are Joseph Breikers, Caitlin Franzmann, Anita Holtsclaw, and Ruth McConchie. Joseph and Caitlin will be presenting their works in the first instalment in the Fresh Cut series. Go have a look and see what hard work and dedication can achieve.
